Orochimarus pov

"Alright children let's begin" I took a seat on the grass in the crisscross position. The three of them copied me "you may know me as the snake of the hidden leaf. A charming name given to me after my betrayal of the hidden leaf"

"Is he trauma dumping right now?" ino whispered to the boys.

"Just listen quietly" shino said sternly.

"You're so rude" she pouted "you should learn to be a gentleman like sasuke" she hugged sasuke's arm. Sasuke didn't have a reaction to this. I chuckled softly. What charming children.

"I am orochimaru, one of the three sannins and a man of science. I've had many talented students in the past so you could say I'm the most experienced sensai of the four. I have a great fascination with different jitsus. I can't wait to see what you all are capable of" I gave them a smile.

"Creepy" ino shuttered.

"I have a question" sasuke raised his hand "you've killed people before right?"

I paused. I dislike talking about my shameful past but I shouldn't hide from it either "yes. I have the blood of hundreds on my hands"

Ino covered her mouth in disbelief. Shino had a neutral expression and sasuke's eyes narrowed.

"Are you afraid of me child?" I asked him.

"No in fact I want you to train me" his eyes shone with determination "I have someone I want to kill"

"Fascinating" I leaned forward in interest. What a fascinating child. I'm starting to feel happy that I returned home.
